Over 1.6 million files containing personally identifiable information, such as full names, home addresses, email addresses, and shipping order details, have been discovered online. These files, allegedly belonging to customers of Etsy, Poshmark, and TikTok Shop, were found in two unsecured Azure Blob Storage containers. The exposure puts customers at risk of social engineering attacks and potential financial loss. The origin of the datasets is unknown, but it is suspected to be from a Vietnamese-based embroidery service. The risk includes cybercriminals impersonating trusted shipping providers or Etsy itself to deceive victims into revealing personal details or making payments.
